Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Optomechanics is a growing field that studies systems where light and mechanical motion are coupled via radiation pressure. In this work, we present the basic theory regarding optical cavities and optical tweezers, two important tools that are often used in optomechanical setups, as well as their experimental implementations. On the subject of optical cavities, we present the implementation of Fabry Pérot cavities formed by one plane mirror and one spherical mirror and cavities formed by two spherical mirrors, both on the confocal and on the non-confocal configuration, and compare the performance of these different cavities. On the subject of optical tweezers, we present an optical tweezer capable of trapping micro-spheres in a water medium and use it to study the movement of trapped particles.
